In addition, chess is fun and exciting, offering wonderful opportunities to grow a child's self respect and build valuable social skills. Encouraging your kids to study the game of chess is a great initiative.

Children that are gifted, have lesser abilities and who may struggle in school will all benefit from the challenges that chess has to offer.

Let's not forget though - chess is fun!! Kids have a blast playing their friends, siblings, and schoolmates, family and relatives. Experience your first chess tournament and you will see that chess teaches your children alot, and is a great opportunity for children to socialize, compete, and challenge themselves.

At our chess club, your children will enjoy casual and tournament games played within the club, playing bughouse, challenging online puzzles, watching chess lesson videos, hands on teaching, lectures, homework, special guest appearances, simultaneous exhibitions and trips to chess competitions in the lower mainland.
